دراسة اقتصادية لتوجهات الدولة نحو الاقتصاد الأخضر تحقيقا لأهداف التنمية الزراعية المستدامة

Abstract EN

Economic activity is based on the exploitation of available environmental resources.

land and water suppliers are the most important environmental resources that contribute mainly to agricultural activity.

the research problem was represented in the low percentage of agricultural production’s contribution to the Egyptian GDP, which amounted to about 17.51 billion dollars, representing about 12.4 % of GDP, despite the recent work towards achieving sustainable agricultural development, one of the most important pillars of which is the shift towards a green economy.

the research aimed mainly to study the role of the green economy in achieving the goals of the sustainable agricultural development strategy, in achieving its objectives, the study relied on published and unpublished secondary data.

the results indicated the need to work on raising the performance rates of the Egyptian agricultural sector to match the general growth rate, as it was found that the growth rate of agricultural output reached about 4.5%, which is lower than its national counterpart, which was estimated at 6.1%.

by studying indicators measuring sustainable agricultural development in Egypt, it was found from studying the development of the population suffering from undernourishment that it took a growth rate of about 3% of the annual average, and by studying the development of the population below the poverty line, it was found that it increased at a statistically significant annual growth rate of about 6, 5%, and the results indicated that the Egyptian agricultural sector achieved a 2.3% increase in water use efficiency during the study period, the results of the standard assessment of the impact of environmental variables on agricultural output indicate that an increase in the amount of pesticides and the amount of fertilizers used in agriculture by about 10% may lead to an increase in the value of agricultural output by about 5.1% and 0.66%, while the negative impact of each of encroachments on agricultural lands, and the amount of water losses, as an increase in each of them by 10% leads to a decrease in the value of agricultural output by about 2.2%, 4.83%.
